I'm looking to choose a secondary jungler instead of throwing Shyvana at every game, and am curious about what makes y'all decide to pick something else. Are there certain champs/comps on the enemy team-- or gaps in your team's draft-- that make you swap champs. Or are y'all ride-or-die dragon enthusiasts?
Looks like Q not getting HoB true damage wasn't intended. Time to test out 5x HoB procs!
Looking at this patch changes to both Shyvana and D&D, it seems like her synergy with the item is about gone. AP Shyv doesn't scale her Q on-hit passive anymore, and Q CD refund requires a lot more D&D procs, so the double-hits doesn't look so nice. AD Shyv is being pushed to need more bonus HP and stick in fights longer with a missing HP heal on shorter CD. At the same time, D&D gets reduced power in stats for a small heal that's not great unless you proc it multiple times during a fight or have high AP/HP.
Maybe I'm not getting the feel for how the D&D heal scales off bonus HP that AD Shyv will definitely have, but at least for AP Shyv it seems pretty suboptimal...
